The Michigan Daily-Saturday, May 8. 1982-Page 3 Summer adds to security worries By GEORGE ADAMS The warm weather and smaller student population in Ann Arbor during the summer bring a change from the normal pressures and intensity usually associated with the fall and winter months. Campus life becomes more relaxed and easy-going in the balmy months of spring and summer semesters. But with the calm, summer also brings problems to the city, and especially the University, in the form of changed security problems. THE SAFETY department continues to run all its patrols and checks during the summer, according to the University's Director of Safety Walter Stevens, and tactics it uses do not change. There are no reduc- tions in the manpower, he added, but that doesn't mean there are not problems. "The crime rate itself doesn't really rise or fall during the summer months," Stevens said, "but there are different problems." According to Stevens, the basic security problem during the summer months is the number of non- University people drawn to campus by the quieter atmosphere. "MOST OF the crimes on campus are committed by non-University people. They come into the campus area, especially near the Diag and the corner of State and North University streets, and they end up wan- dering into our buildings," Stevens said. "For the most part they're more of an annoyance than a danger, but they do cause problems, sometimes serious ones," he added. Because most of the dormitories close for the summer, the housing-related security matters also fall off during those months, Stevens said. Spring and sununer bring a number of events to the Ann Arbor area that create some interesting problems for police and security officials. The Ann Arbor Art Fair and the Ya'ssoo Greek festival are two of these events. The events cause "a lot of people to invade the campus area, and some of them aren't here to enjoy the art fair-they're here to cause trouble and see what they can get away with," Stevens said. SERGEANT HAROLD Tinsey of the Ann Arbor Police Department said the art fair creates unusual problems for him and his fellow officers. ANN ARBOR parking facilities are already strained, Tinsey said, and the thousands who come to townonly add to the problem. "It gets really bad, as I'm sure you're aware if you've ever spent that time in Ann Arbor. "We also get a number of very different problems, like lost kids during the fair and the strange things that people sometimes do," he said. Stevens said that some residents let the pleasures of summer get to them a little too much; the number of intoxicated people found roaming around campus seems to be greater in the summer months. "And, as you know, sometimes they get a little rowdy," he said. Both Stevens and Tinsey advised that residents, students in particular, keep a closer eye on their property, especially bicycles, backpacks, and small items like calculators that are easily stolen and hard- to identify. Also, they suggest residents lock all doors and windows when leaving their house or apartment, something people sometimes forget in the summer- time. State warned bond rating may plunge WORLD RENOWNED heart surgeon Dr. Michael DeBakey fields questions at a press conference yesterday following his lecture at the School of Nur- sing's workshop. DeBakey sounds off at 'U' LANSING (UPI) - Gov. William Milliken proposed yesterday an emergency session of the state legislature next Monday on the state's budget crisis in hopes of averting a "devastating downgrading" of the state's bond rating. Milliken confirmed that his office has been informed that Moody's Investor Service of New York plans to downgrade Michigan's financial rating across the board. HE SAID THE state has asked for an appeal and one is scheduled for 10:00 a.m. next Tuesday in New York. The downgrading decision "would be final if the state had decided not to ap- peal," Milliken said, but since an ap- peal has leen requested it is not final at this time. The governor said there is no chance for the appeal to succeed, however, unless Michigan .can put its "state financial house in order before the Tuesday meeting." HE SAID enacting the six month, one percentage point income tax increase he has proposed for balancing the budget will not guarantee a successful appeal, but "inaction by the legislature virtually guarantees failure." Millikeny said he is consulting legislative leadership about the possibility of convening an emergency session of the House and Senate Mon- day morning at 10a.m. The income tax increase passed the house but was rejected by the Senate, and currently is in a House-Senate con- ference committee. RADIO STATION WJR in Detroit reported Moody's had decided to lower Michigan's building authority bond rating from "A" to "BAA", a low in- vestment grade, and drop the rating on a short-term notes from "Mig-2" to "Mig-3." The station said the latter ac- tion would make it impossible for the state to borrow $500 million this fall as planned, creating fiscal chaos in state government. Moody's would only say the Michigan- (Continued from Page 1) staff to assist in locating donors. "If you're going to do it, you've got to have full-time people who are devoted to doing it," DeBakey explained. DeBakey said that certain forms of coronary disease can be prevented by eliminating the presence of risk factors such as smoking and a high cholesterol diet, but added, "I don't think there is any question about the hereditary fac- tor being very important." THE SURGEON blasted diet books and "health farms" as a means of com- prehensive disease prevention, calling them "moneymakers," and "highly commercialized." "The great majority of diet books are absolutely irrational," DeBakey said, although they are a "big industry." The surgeon also criticized certain forms of exercise-such as jogging-for individuals after the age of 45 to 50, ex- plaining that unless done in moderation and with a physician's approval, run- ning can actually contribute to. coronary problems. "JOGGING IS good for people who don't need it, the young," DeBakey said, adding, "exercise is good for you, but it ought to be done in moderation." During a press conference held at the close of the workshop, DeBakey refuted a recent New England Journal of Medicine report in which researchers maintained that in many cases coronary bypass surgery can be avoided with administration of new drug therapies. "That report is filled with fallacies," DeBakey said. "I was amazed that they published it in the New England Jour- nal of Medicine. DeBakey also denounced the popular "Pritikin Diet" for its claims of rever- sing progressive coronary artery disease. "Frankly, I don't believe it," DeBakey said, Adding that former Pritikin patients he had examined did not show any reversal in the disease's progression. ... proposes emergency session situation was under review. Milliken said he and his staff will work over the weekend preparing a proposed budget cutting executive or- der which would be made available to lawmakers Monday. LEGALLY however, he said the or- der could not be acted upon until Thur- sday, leaving legislators in a "time bind" with the Wall Street meeting scheduled for Tuesday. He said the administration had un- successfully attempted to get a later meeting. Earlier, administration officials had said they were working on an exectuve order cutting up to $325 millin more from the budget. STATE BUDGET director Gerald Miller would not say to what level Moody's had decided to drop the bon- ds. However, he said with a "Mig-3" rating the state would not be able to sell its short term notes. Milliken said that would mean the state could not meet its commitments to local governments and school aid payments.
